Details on PS4 Audio Processor (ACP)

VGLeaks: Mark Cerny confirmed in an interview that PlayStation 4 uses hardware expressly dedicated to audio tasks. What are the capabilities of this hardware? What is Sony telling to developers about it?

Kayant3883d ago

Hmm so both MS and Sony are using custom hardware to offload the stress from the CPU. MS's hardware is more custom as most of it is used for kinect. Either way good to see both consoles wouldn't be wasting cpu resources on processing audio.

How does this compare to XBO. Tech reply not fanboy reply please!

thrust3882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

I don't know the answer but unless you have a great surround sound system it will not really matter.

most people have the sound coming from the tv they will never know the difference.

this question will help people like me that has a stand alone amp and surround sound set up tho.

Jaqen_Hghar3882d ago

A man will be using his pulse elite headset so he is very unconcerned about this, just interested

pwnsause_returns3882d ago

it just means that CPU resources are not wasted.

where as the PS3, where the cell processor was used to decode audio, here with the PS4, it has its own dedicated audio processor. it wont have to use the APU to decode audio. I guess thats what that means. so developers have more room to make their games.

Hopefully better voice chat also

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack22h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville2h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack15h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya5h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos3h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos3h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

LostPotato20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack15h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57944h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno3h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville2h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

CrimsonWing698h ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

The gameplay is fantastic. Not sure what can be more important then that?

HankHill13h ago

I like how one of the cons is that it's the only tennis game on the market. What does that have to do with the game?
